add double size interface for very high res monitors

Hi

playing factorio on a very high res monitor makes the interface incredibly small, to the point that it is hard to read anything and distinguish icons.

It would be nice to have an option to magnify the UI; doesn't need to be fully resizable, even a 2x switch would do

The interface is scaled a little, what kind of monitor do you have? I have the DELL U3014 with 2560X1600 resolution, and the scale feels just about right.
We could make option for the scale modifier (I could imagine slider for values from 0.5 to 2), so people can customize it freerly.

this is how I see the interface

2880x1400 15", tinypic downsizes the image a bit but the scale between the interface and the gui is the same
